|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Asakara King and World's End driving across from their wide draws. DANON CENTURY (2) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and comes here off the back of three straight wins. Yet to prove himself at this level but the potential is there. The booking of Lane is a big leg-up. FANDOM (13) is a handy type who resumes after a break of nine weeks. Only appeared once last prep when he finished 12th over 1200m in the G3 Yukan Fuji Sho Ocean Stakes at Nakayama, beaten 4 lengths. Has three wins to his name when fresh from a spell. Should be in the finish. YABUSAME (18) last appeared on February 1 when a good fifth over 1200m in the G3 Silk Road Stakes at Kyoto, beaten one length. One to consider. WORLD'S END (16) is a talented five-year-old entire who resumes from a break after finishing in the money at his latest outing four-and-a-half months ago against an inferior field than this over 1600m in Listed grade at Hanshin. Has registered three first-up wins. Worth considering.
